Another JD(U) MlA meets NaMo

Even if Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is not happy with increasing height of his Gujarat counterpart, MlAs of his own party are trying to make proximity with Narendra Modi. On Saturday, JD(U) MlA Chhedi Paswan was in Gandhingar to meet the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate.

Earlier, Bihar’s political leaders representing different parties including Sadhu Yadav, Deaai Chaudhari and Jai Narain Prasad popularly known as ‘Nishad’ were seen in the Gujarat capital and had meetings with the Gujarat Chief Minister.

Paswan, who has been elected from the Mohania constituency, had a long meeting with Modi. However, it was not known that what was discussed between the two. The former Building and Construction Minister in Bihar Government had defeated present lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar twice in the past from Sasaram lok Sabha constituency.

An avid athlete in his college days, 57-year-old Paswan is also known as popular Dalit leader having sway in certain pockets of Bihar. According to sources, he discussed about Modi’s upcoming rally in Patna to be organised on October 27. In 1975, he had actively participated in Jai Prakash Narayan’s movement and later on joined active politics in 1980.
